What To Do After an Uber or Lyft Motor Vehicle Accident
Regardless of how minor you think your injuries are, seek medical attention after an Uber or Lyft motor vehicle accident. Allow first responders to check you for injuries at the scene and go to the doctor or emergency room after the accident. Some injuries may not manifest until hours or even days later. In addition, some psychological issues, such as anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder, may not manifest for weeks or even months later.
Determining Liability in a Lyft or Uber Motor Vehicle Accident
It is often difficult to determine who is responsible for your injuries after a Lyft or Uber motor vehicle accident. Your attorney can investigate the case to determine whether your driver or another driver is responsible for your injuries. The rideshare driver’s status also determines who is responsible for covering your injuries.
Recovering Damages After an Accident
You can recover economic damages and non-economic damages after a rideshare accident, including:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Death-related expenses if you lost a loved one in an Uber or Lyft accident
- Pain and suffering, including emotional distress
- Loss of quality of life
- Loss of companionship and/or consortium
- Inconvenience
